Sweethearts,

I got an amazing letter from a very close sister in the Lord. Her house blew sky high from a bomb. So far what caused the exposion has not been determined, though the making of Meth by her errent son is expected. No doubt her going into a panic mode could be explained.

She had enough composure to find a few clothes, treasured small items, etc. and got out of the house, what was left of it. The story gets even worse as clandestined goings-on unfold.

She itemized the horror and secret things that all of a sudden were not secret anymore. She is now safely settled in another state, with family.

Now to the beautiful message in all of this. After laying out in horrific detail all that had happened she wrote these words; Fun, Fun, Fun! Those words spoke volumns to me. Once the smoke cleared, this great lady looked at everything, good or bad, exactly as the Lord said through Paul, to do; "Count it all fun, fun, fun! " OK, I know, "Count it all joy, joy, joy..."

I know some that are so spiritually minded would say, "This lady needs to get real and start casting out some demons. She has a right to come unglued and stay that way...Come on let's face reality, this is hell!!"

Well, you're right about one thing, it is hell down here, but she like myself, doesn't look at things as they are but with faith, that God is doing what He is good at; turning everything into good.

Why not count it all joy? It can surely make a difference in your day, your witness, your health and what the heck can you do by going back and moaning? Life is slipping away and our witness in the time of the storm is the best way to advertise the power, strength and love of Jesus, in our lives. These are the times He is most glorified.

No doubt, we will all be hit with some bad news. Maybe it won't be your house blowing up but who knows what may happen next. You can be sure that our Dear Lord has already walked through our days and He is not surprised, He has made a plan of redemption. He will restore abundantly all that is lost. Maybe it wont' be in the same way, but in an even better way.

Hey, I like His ways more than my own anyway.


Think About It while I send some love with this BLOG!


Caring for you,

You were put here for...

Several days ago while shopping, I noticed a mother bending down to care for her baby who was in a carrier. Stopping to acknowledge the new born, I said, "Do you know why God gave life to this little one? She looked at it with such love and didn't have a quick answer. I answered my question;

"So that Jesus could walk among the people."

That is the reason you know. How can The Lord express Himself, show love, touch, laugh, show compassion...without a human body? Surely all of heaven rejoices when an individual is birthed out of the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light. Suddenly the earth,once again has the opportunity to see Him, to experience His exquisite love, to feel His touch around their shoulders, to hear Him speak.

Wow! That's what it's all about. Sure, we get a fire insurance policy when we are born-again. But look at it from the Lord's point of view. His compassionate love would drive Him to find someone who was willing to step up to the plate and operate as a true son of God who would actually speak for The Lord.

I thank God that I met Him personally on the road to suicide and I know without a doubt that He is inside of me, not only to be with me all the days of my life but to minister from within my earthly body. What a great way to live. It makes every day a joy to walk through. I never know what miracle is just ahead of me. Maybe it will be in the post office, maybe in the grocery store, very possibly someone will phone from some great distance because they know I am so willing to give them God's Word on a matter.

Boy! this is truly living and not just existing like a bug, not just dreading the weary days and hoping that they will soon be over.Every day is filled with anticipation. It's the only way to truly live Dear Ones; Knowing that the Living Waters are not impeded but flowing continually to whomever needs a good drink. To see hope and life spring forth is enough to make you jump and shout. With tears I give praise to God for this indescribable gift.

Darlings, The Lord so desires to show Himself mighty not only to those whose hearts are turned toward Him but through those who desire to manifest His sweet yet powerful goodness to the world around them.

That is your assignment from Heaven dearest child of God.

You were put here so that Jesus could walk among the people.
